:: Roast :: (#)

  „Depending on the bean, its origin and the effect you want to achieve, roasting typically takes place between 190 and 220°C - for 10-18 minutes. Does this make it sound like roasting is some sort of exact science? Well it's not. We like to think of it as more of a black art - which is why each and every batch has to produce a real, live cup of coffee for testing by one of our real, live experts.“

  „The trick to roasting coffee is to bring the coffee along slowly rather than rushing it, by understanding what it's telling you and responding. We try to thoroughly roast the bean all the way through. If you crack open one of our beans, more often than not you'll see that it's darker on the inside than it is on the outside.“

A skilled roaster will know that every crop has a sweet spot; some beans are best when roasted lighter and some best when roasted dark. A Colombian may excel at a Vienna Roast, but roasting Ethiopian Yirgacheffe that dark is a crime.“

  „Contrary to public misconception, the espresso process does not create a higher caffine drink. However, the other half of coffee production is the roasting. The Espresso Roast and French Roast bring more oils (and flavor) out in the beans. The roasting process, in turn, impacts the caffine content.“
